Abstract
A semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes: a semiconductor substrate provided with a semiconductor element; a first conductive member formed on the semiconductor substrate; a first insulating film formed on the same layer as the first conductive member; a second conductive member formed so as to contact with a portion of an upper surface of the first conductive member; a second insulating film formed on the first insulating film so as to contact with a portion of the upper surface of the first conductive member, and including at least one type of element among elements contained in the first insulating film except Si; and an etching stopper film formed on the second insulating film so as to contact with a portion of a side surface of the second conductive member, and having an upper edge located below the upper surface of the second conductive member.
